Belittling them as &#39;giddy&#39; and dismissing their act of fath (which wearing hijab is) just shows your arrogance. Inshallah I hope you continue to gain knowledge and learn to respect your fellow Muslims.Zafar Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951176762361136446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7232915952147319673.post-41899866136386645782011-05-29T17:19:14.549+01:002011-05-29T17:19:14.549+01:00Be interesting to see if my comment will be posted...Be interesting to see if my comment will be posted!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241877568320979725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7232915952147319673.post-68197656072527772912011-05-29T17:17:37.720+01:002011-05-29T17:17:37.720+01:00A really good article and one that in many ways re...A really good article and one that in many ways resonates with me. Thank you for using the word &quot;convert&quot; and not that dreadful any inaccurate word &quot;revert&quot;. However, why are converts like me are never heard? I too am middle class. I work as a senior nursing sister (PACU and Anaesthetics) in a busy London hospital. I was actually 99% atheist when by chance started reading the Qur&#39;an. I also was 45. I very much had my own mind and remain so. BUT I do not wear the hijab because it is simply not a requirement. I love Islam because it is not afraid of questions and asks us to open our minds and learn from all. I watched with embarrassment today as once again an ill educated barely articulate ?Imam was on the BBC saying how heaven had virgins waiting for him plus at least two wifes! I wish I had been there...<br />Miriam is great...but ultimately seen as a giddy young gal as one harsh critic put it...&quot;playing the Muslim&quot;. I wonder how did she decide which style of Hijab she would wear as Europeans don&#39;t have one. Why did she not choose a Spannish style, or Somali? I would like to take young ladies like her to places like Chectneya where currently women have been beheaded for trying to protect women&#39;s rights and NOT wear the hijab. Sadly as one women&#39;s right activist put it to me...I wish (female) converts would do the Islamic directive of actually thinking. By putting on the Hijab as a European they betray their Muslims sisters fighting for a little freedom.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05241877568320979725noreply@blogger.com
